"Block!"
The sand wolves rushed towards him one after another, and were knocked to the ground from time to time.
"Fire arrow!"
Wrapping them in oilcloth, they lit a fire, and bursts of fire arrows shot up into the sky, and then all fell in front of the formation. The wolves that were originally charging in anger slowly stopped one by one after seeing the fire arrow.
But at this moment, several strange howls sounded in the empty desert. The wolves suddenly became ferocious again, crossing the fire crazily and continuing to rush towards the shield array.
Xu Mu frowned. His experience in hunting wolves is not lacking. Logically speaking, as long as they are frightened a few times, these beasts will find that they cannot be treated well and will most likely retreat.
But now, it is clear that he will fight to the death.
"King Shu, someone is making a wolf whistle." At this time, Shen Zong came up and spoke.
"Wolf whistle? Does this mean these wolves are tamed?"
"That's pretty much it."
Xu Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Shen Zong, the area around here is full of death, but why are so many sand wolves appearing at this time?"
Shen Zong understood immediately, "What the King of Shu means is that there is really an oasis nearby?"
"That's almost certain."
Along the way, I also encountered sand wolves, but I had never seen such a large group of sand wolves. Of course, this kind of battle would not be too oppressive for the Shu soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
In addition to the 2,000 people from the Yudang tribe, the other 5,000 or so Shu soldiers from Chengdu were almost considered Xu Mu's own troops, and they followed him on numerous expeditions to the north and south.
The gap left by the sand wolf was soon filled by someone else from behind, continuing to hold the leather shield to block the attacking wolves.
Xu Mu's eyes turned cold. It's a pity that he put the bow dog in the general hall to learn. If he came together, he might not be able to find a way to kill the alpha wolf.
Once the alpha wolf dies, the wolves will become afraid even if someone secretly instigates them.
"Shen Zong, is there any way to find the alpha wolf?"
"King Shu, in a pack of sand wolves like this, the alpha wolf is extremely cunning and will hide deep in the pack. Furthermore, there are no tall trees or watchtowers nearby, so it is difficult to observe clearly."
"Call General Tiger back." Xu Mu thought for a while and spoke.
Compared to humans, these beasts and beasts are only bloody and ferocious, without any intelligence.
"Brother Mu, what's wrong?" Si Hu, still covered in blood, ran back in a hurry.
"Do you see the sand dunes on the right?"
Si Hu bulged his eyes and looked carefully for a while before nodding quickly.
"Take two hundred people with you. Find the leader of the wolf at the top of the sand dune and kill it immediately. Remember to put on thick robes."
When entering the sand sea, Xu Mu knew the temperature difference between day and night in the desert, and specifically told the seven thousand troops to wear thick robes even if they were more cumbersome.
Following Xu Mu's order, Si Hu and his men went around from behind in a short time. Although the manpower was divided, the defensive formation was not chaotic. The shield array was fearless and fearless, and the rifle bows were swung and thrown. In the camp, several guides and some accompanying military medical team leaders took up their weapons and stood guard around them.
After being unable to attack for a long time, more and more wolf corpses fell to the ground. The alpha wolf hiding in the pack began to howl more and more loudly. Vaguely, it was also accompanied by a weird wolf whistle.
On the dunes.
"Is the meat of the alpha wolf... delicious?" On the sand dune, Si Hu turned his head seriously and asked a captain next to him.
"General Tiger, wolf meat is so rancid! Even if it's roasted, you won't be able to eat it."
Hearing this, Si Hu's face was startled, inexplicably a little angry, and his face also became angry.
"General Tiger, I've seen the first wolf, the one with the white hair on its head." The tone of a guide who followed became excited.
"It doesn't taste good, and it barks so fiercely!"
"Brothers, fight wolves with me!"
"Roar!"
Carrying the giant ax, Si Hu walked around the hill and ran towards the wolves first.
"General Tiger puts on a thick robe, be careful of his flesh being torn off!"
"I'll wear an egg, but it doesn't taste good, so I'll beat it to death!"
Si Hu didn't understand what a clever trick this roundabout tactic was for the unintelligent wolves. He only understood that these beasts were not as delicious as lambs, but they were getting in the way.
To be honest, you have to beat them all to death in order to relieve your hatred.
After all, there were quite a few sand wolves who spotted the two hundred Shu soldiers rushing down. They hurriedly changed their direction and rushed towards them like crazy.
Click.
Si Hu chopped off the wolf's head with an axe, and reluctantly knelt down to smell it. When he found that there was indeed a bad smell, his anger level was instantly full.
"Brothers, you can't eat these things, so you don't need to keep the whole body!"
Behind Si Hu, two hundred men holding leather shields charged in an orderly manner. They roared and raised their daggers, slashing at the sand wolves blocking the way.
…
"Array-"
Seeing the flankers coming out, Xu Mu's expression turned desolate.
"Shield formation, move forward fifty steps, cooperate with the flanks, and kill the wolves together!"
"kill!"
Under the order, the originally defensive shield formation began the first round of counterattack, and moved forward step by step in coordination with the walking bows behind them.
The orderly stabbing at the distance of the spear did not allow the ferociously charging sand wolf to succeed, but instead left more wolf corpses behind.
"Cooperate with the flanks and kill the Wolf King!"
"Brothers, kill the white-haired wolf!" Si Hu raised his head and roared, his anger bursting out because he couldn't eat the barbecue.
"Follow General Tiger and fight into the pack of wolves!"
Even though some Shu soldiers were bitten to death, they did not let the advancing shield formation retreat. They followed Si Hu closely and went towards the Wolf King to kill with swords.
"How do these beasts know my formation in Xishu!"
The group of sand wolves that were originally so aggressive now began to flee away from time to time. The white-haired wolf shrank down and wanted to continue hiding.
However, Si Hu kept staring at him and led his men to pursue him nonstop.
…
Behind the sand dunes not far away, several crouched figures looked coldly at everything in front of them. As they watched, one of them looked angry.
"They're all trash." The man gritted his teeth and said.
"I have already told you to drive away wolves slowly. But you people, when you see Thief Xu, you don't care about anything."
"Master, what should we do now..."
"What else can we do? The wolves have been dispersed. Haven't you checked clearly? Thief Xu had already started hunting wolves in the grasslands outside the Great Wall!"
"Go back to the underground palace!"
"The big plan has not come to fruition, and it has all been ruined by you losers. Go to the elders and wait for death!"
"snort."
The figure turned around, took up his Qinggong, headed towards the north of the desert, and left first. The remaining people, after a period of trembling, did not dare to stay, and followed the figure and began to retreat to the north.
At first, I thought that the sand wolves were extremely ferocious, and that there were only a few thousand Shu soldiers, so they should be fine. But who would have thought that the sand wolves would be directly suppressed by the Shu people.
…
"Brothers, the Wolf King's meat is also rancid!" Si Hu picked up a strong wolf corpse and stood in the sandy wind, his tone clearly filled with sadness.
